ElCap's Airfix 1/35 M3 Stuart "Honey"

Post by ElCapitan »

So this one is finally finished. The build thread can be found at:

viewtopic.php?f=723&t=29178

I enjoyed the build, and all the extra detailing that I did, but once I got to painting I just lost interest a bit unfortunately. I think I just didn't have the time to dedicate to it so found myself rushing it. As a result, I feel I could have done a better job of weathering.

As always, thanks to everyone who commented on my build thread and offered advice and feedback!

Great result it is a wonderful result.
The build, paint are so good and the chipping is restrained and not over the top. The weathering is in a similar vein....lovely work.
How did you do your tools so much better than mine.
